Welcome back!
It's been too long since I have done an episode I have been very busy with Uni essays, which now I'm done with for the year now. In today`s episode, I talk about how important recovery is in busy and stressful times. This is something I have neglected as I now reflect over the year, the simple reason for that is because I was so focused on my work. I was chasing perfection on my work which is never a good idea because it never ends, which frustrated me. This is where I begin to forget about time and energy management, once I get to this point I usually understand that I am going to burn out beyond this particular time. Make recovery a habit because it allows you to structure your day in a way that can make it much more enjoyable and less stressful.
I know three ways to recover
1- sleep
Sleep is the best way to completely recover physically and even mentally. Athletes take advantage of this because it helps them to fully rejuvenate and be ready for the next game. Usually, it's 7 plus hours of sleep.
2-Stretch
I Stretch every time I finish my time block (when I'm working on a project), which I think is the quickest way to refresh myself ( where get fresh new ideas or perspectives).
3-walk
I usually take Fridays off and take a walk down the park or go for a cycle if the weather is good.
Now there are other methods to recover but in this episode, I want to highlight the importance of recovery mentally and physically for your wellbeing.
